Chatomania - Advantage of chatting over talking on a phone or personaly
0 comments Posted by Arvind Thatikonda at 4:46 PMThis post is to prevent all those idiots from wasting their time and money on mobile and gen treat bills.
Online chat can refer to any kind of communication over the Internet, but is primarily meant to refer to direct one-on-one chat or text-based group chat (formally also known as synchronous conferencing), using tools such as instant messaging applications—computer programs, Internet Relay Chat, talkers and possibly MUDs, MUCKs, MUSHes and MOOes. The expression online chat comes from the word chat which means "informal conversation".
As usual wiki definition sucks.Itz the tool evry student(especially engineering) use to talk with all the people around the world at the cheapest price possible(In a college with internet connection you actually do it for free).
Chatting is a very important phase in an engineering students life which reaches its pinnacle in itz first year .Itz the best tool to be in touch with old friends and to make new ones.Anyday my chatting favourite would be "YAHOO MESSENGER" but due to many constraints(bad internet connectivity) I shifted to "GTALK" which though not as good as yahoo msngr gives a tuff competition witht the many addons you get.
So here are some of the important advantages you have:
Privacy : Thatz what u get when u chat...privacy...with more and more students preferring to buy laptops...one would have ultimate privacy in chatting with any person about almost anything.But remember there are tools which screw up your privacy sometimes...just be aware of them...Ex: Yahoo Sniffer...you can see all chats on your entire network...even people who are not on your messenger list.
All Fools Day : Fool every person on your chat list every time.Yahoo has a good feature of being invisible...and if you find any person disturbing you change your stealth settings to invisible for that person.Gtalk on the other hand has a good feature of blocking the person(also available in yahoo) and using tools like GAlways Idle one can stay idle or be available anytime you wish.With softwares like Pidgin one can sign into many accounts at the same and even different messengers and works effectively even at very low band widths .
It wasnt me : Hahaha...best dialogue to say when you screw up a conversation at any point of time...no it wasnt me it was friend chatting, my gtalk signs in automatically and my sister was using the computer, i am damn busy doing my project(Playing computer games) , I have an exam tomorrow(ob not) , I am not feeling well, I just did a nite out and feeling damn sleepy, my yahoo msngr signed out...DND(do not disturb) , PDND(Please DND), DTD(Dare to disturb), BRB(BeRightBack-Never Happens), On a Call(generally natures), 1 min,2 min, 5min,10 min,1 day 10 days 1000days hahahahahah...it goes on.
Memories : There are moments in your chatting life which are very precious and need to preserved...and with introduction of gtalk most important conversations should and must happen...the first chat with a gal....the general bugging of your friend...those bragging moments...and the important links...
Mobile Naat : The most effective way to use the online messengers is to talk with friends using microphones instead of mobiles.Itz cheap ,kewl and effective while playing online games and pinging your friends.Why waste money on mobile bills especially when there is an increase in inflation.

A man can be happy with any woman as long as he does not love her - Oscar Wilde
0 comments Posted by Arvind Thatikonda at 12:08 AMThe next two gals in my life...hmmm cant reveal the exact details but would surely come back to this topic some time later in my life....hopefully when i am done with my engineering....
Till then My Post Title gives the best advice for any engineering student.
P.S:Will surely return to this topic
Wednesday, April 2, 2008
Every time a gal enters a guys life....u just decide where she shld stand.....it starts of with "true love" to "great friend" to "nice friend" to "friend" to "plz dont talk abt her" to "whoz she???".This may happen randomly...like the reverse process happens in some case(examples later)..
But the strange thing abt my life is that all my friendships with gals where never dictated by such processes but happened in the most haphazard way possible...
I was always considered as an idiot at dealing with gals(still I am) and on any damn day given a choice would prefer talking to a boy than a gal(hehe....except abt some topics)...Apart from so many sisters I have and with whom i love to spend my time I still cannot figure out why I back out to talk to gals(new ones especially).....
But as a matter of fact, my life has been inspired by three gals.....So I wuld be talking abt them briefly...
The whole concept of talking to gals as far as I remember dates back to my 8 class. Now due to many constraints i cannot reveal the names of the gals involved.Reasons being
- Itz my blog :)
- If the ppl involved come to know abt what I am gonna write then they are gonna kill me
So I troubled her in all the possible ways...but as time went by became her friend(dont ask how)....As our friendship was more on the lines of peace(after a war), the verbal challenges continued....She challenged me to get top marks in 9 final examination and indeed I did....During my school time I thought that she was arrogant to challenge me...but later did I realise that only that challenge had put a guy who was completely deviated from academics on the right track...
So herz my first advice
Never give up when challenged by a gal......Itz for ur good
It is a tuff job to choose a lappy especially when there are so many companies offering Laptops at prices affordable by a common man.So what to choose???
There are two major competitors in the INDIAN market - DELL and HP (with due respect to other computer giants like SONY,LENOVO etc etc)
Why Only DELL and HP???You will have your answers at the end of this post
Stylish,Sexy laptops at damn cheap prices.Check out their site DELL,INDIA
The best thing about DELL laptop's is that you can customize almost evry part of ur lappy.Inspiron series lappy's are termed to be the best buy latops for everyone. XPS series lappys are considered to be one of the best gaming laptops available in India.It was not available in Indian market an year ago.Since itz release in India it has been one of the most purchased laptop by student community especially engineering students.
But the problem with DELL laptops starts with purchase itself.It doesnt have any showrooms or service outlets in India an so u gotta wait for very long time on the till their busy operators connect your call to the related person both in case of purchase as well as replacement or any other issues.Not having a service centre is a huge problem as even for a minor issue after the gaurantee period it would cost u 1500 bucks just for the person to check out what the problem is.
So herez my advice....when buying a DELL lappy extend ur gaurantee to three years to be on the safe side and always mail the customer care and tell them to call you up instead of spending hours on the phone.
The biggest advantage of buying a HP lappy is that there are many showrooms available and so many service centres throughout India.Though there is not much customization of parts,most of the lappy's have almost all the required features.Just check out their site for comparison of laptops HP,India . As you can see the HP pavilion dv6700 is comparable to Dell Inspiron 6400 series laptops but it has a higher price(a difference of 5k) but it has a better look than inspiron lappy's and many other good features like a better graphic card.The pavilion dv2700 are on the costlier end of basic laptops but the service provided by HP and the ease of buyin(u have to wait 3 weeks to get ur DELL lappy) from any showroom is worth buying the laptop.But there arent any famous and affordable gaming laptops in HP for Indian customers .
So herez my advice when buying a hp lappy....check out for the offers and c that ur lappy has all the things u wish to have.
Final advice DELL or HP??
DELL anyday -remember patience is the virtue which wuld help u in dealing with their Customer "CARE"(less)
